I paid for face plating and carbon fiber blockers.

I know they also replace a first gear cluster set since its prone to failure...

I was going to just do the pro shifting but my trans guy said just do the face plated gear, its a little more money but they tend to last longer...He upgrades about two a year but highly recommends just doing it this way the first time..he also said its a little noisy much like an old Muncie during shifting. The trans is supposed to grab like a raped ape in the higher rpms but it will still be quiet while in gear.

I guess removing the stock synchros allows all of this to happen...

I did have the guys at AMP performance do this work for me..They had a gear set that they sent to Liberty so when it comes in they can drop it in my trans and send off my stock ones. This can help you guys that dont want to wait like me, if you guys chose this route.

They are a Tremec dealer that works hand in hand with Liberty..I really can not complain about the price...

I called Amp and they said you are pro shifting your trans so you better give them a call Chuck.

They don't have any gear sets to swap out with me. Looks like a long wait with Liberty or just buying parts or a whole tranny.

Face plated, not meant for street.

Not as epic as putting a stock turd TKO600 in a 32.

Faceplating is for the track only.

Actually, on the front page of their site they do list the following:

id call and get in on that. i think thats an error. it should say surfance enhanced, not cf. i think the price on the second page is correct for the cf. if not, that is a really good deal since its only 200 more than stock and WAY more upgraded.

I've thought this as well and have never seen or heard of it being recommended for a street car.

I'll get clarification on this tmrw!

Standard TKO = $2200
new RS 600 = $2200 (but doesn't ship til Feb or later)
Liberty upgraded/synchro'd TKO = $2375

Hmmm.....
